DRAWZILLA

Yes, the plan views are indeed incorporated into my template plans, never have to set them up again

I didn't .like it at first but now I love them and have become as fast as Scott with his hot keys.

yes, I've noticed your puter a little slow lately on line, when you have go to meeting going it takes a lot of recourses.

"Quickly learning" doesn't happen, I'm always learning, don't know everything yet.

Scott Hall just had an online meeting about this, and we have believed for a long time ,this is a bug but never gets fixed

thanks Joe

You can now cut and shape the views any way you want. That's new also

That looks like a metal roof to me.

build them and watch what happens

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE TRUSSES. There is a problem with trusses framing correctly over other roofs, sometimes the eaves will not frame. with a roof below and vice versa. its been that way for a lot of versions now.

Here's how, the builders ignor it in the field

Taking a stab: do you have trusses on the 2nd floor.

In X10 you can tell Chief where to look for libs.(data folder) wherever they might reside. Some people put the whole Data folder on another drive or Cloud service.

Chief still won't generate an automatic attic wall where no wall below exists.

I think I have also worked it out.

Thanks Eric, I found that I had to take out the fill and that works for me. It's looking better as I dive into It. I just have to not use automatic labels and create one from the custom label field..

ok Dermot I checked it out and wonder why when I turn off headers b/c They are not viewed the way I would like them to, so I want them off but I also want the label to stay on. . when I turn off the headers from view the labels shut off also. I really want to see the window not the header. ! see now it has potential with a few tweaks.

Thanks Dermot, i'll check it out.

Yes but you can't change how you spell "hdr", that needs to be incorporated into the macro to work correctly. Or we would need to change every opening manually.

That's nice but I think it's something Chief should incorporate . I think Michaels way would require we change every header manually, that's not acceptable. There should be defaults for header labels. This would require a re-write of Chief's macro that is just not correct for framing plans.

And do we really need to spell out the full names of hdrs, it takes up too much space. At this point I can't use them Chief';s way.

The Calif. code really wants you to hire a mech. engineer to figure it out.

MY HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 2014 AND WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE THROUGH THE ROOF DRYER VENTS. Have to clean them out to be safe.

(b) If three 90-degree elbows are used in the vent system, then the maximum vent capacity listed in the tables must be reduced by 10 percent (see Section 504.2.3 for single appliance vents). This implies that the 5- inch-diameter vent has an adjusted capacity of only 110,000 Btu per hour. In this case, the vent system must be increased to 6 inches in diameter (see calculations below). 122,000 (0.90) = 110,000 for 5-inch vent From Table 504.2(2), Select 6-inch vent 186,000 (0.90) = 167,000; This is greater than the required 120,000. Therefore, use a 6-inch vent and connector where three elbows are used.

I always leave MS updates on, and have the latest from NVidia also, without any problems like that with window labels which I have macro's for..
